I didn't say it was a good idea lol

Take that as a sign that if you accept that they’ll be messaging you. You don’t really have to chase down recruiters, it’s the other way around.

I certainly don't message everyone (or most people) that I connect with, but I am always open to receiving a message.

9/10 times, if I connect with you, it means that we spoke on the phone or via email earlier that day.

By and large they employ extremely young folks who do not have any relationships with hiring managers in the US law firms. And they do not follow ethical norms of legal recruiting

Yes, absolutely.

Also, you may not want to reply to each one. I'd view their profiles on LinkedIn and go with folks who have been in the business for awhile and have not job hopped much. Those are the recruiters most likely to have long-standing relationships with clients, know the market and have been sucessful in the industry.

Yeah
